**************
Welcome to our live coverage of todayโs football games. Much of the focus will be on the Division 1 showdown between Galway and Kerry in Tuam.
Peter Keaneโs men are top of the league with three wins from their opening three games. Fresh from their thrilling victory over Dublin in Tralee, the Kingdom are hoping to exact revenge on the Connacht champions for last yearโs Super 8s loss.
Galway have been beaten just once this year and their defensive system will provide a stern test for Kerryโs talented attack this afternoon.
Elsewhere, the two newcomers to Division 1, Cavan an Roscommon, meet in the other top flight encounter at Breffni Park. Weโll also been keeping a close eye on the Divison two games, where Donegal and Fermanagh meet in the pick of the games.

In my opinion he deserves a pl move
@ashton oriordan: Will start for Sunderland and probably got a decent salary. Very difficult to break into a Pl midfield. Or any position indeed.
I hope it works out for him.
